(lecturer's introduction + film)
🤔Visconti and history
Luchino Visconti's aristocratic origin significantly shaped his view of history. In his films, he repeatedly returns to the moments when the old world falls apart and a new one is born. The demise of the nobility, the illusion of the revolution and the moral decline of society are depicted with critical accuracy. In the film Passion (1954), personal betrayal is intertwined with political betrayal. The monumental Cheetah (1963) captures the end of the aristocratic era during the period of Italian unification. In the historical fresco Ľudovít Bavorský (1973), we follow a lonely monarch in the middle of a crumbling monarchy. He explores the dark chapter of the 20th century in the films Star of the Big Dipper (1965) and Twilight of the Gods (1969), where personal dramas intermingle with the onset of totality.
🐅 Gepard (1963)
The decline of the nobility and the rise of the bourgeoisie against the background of the unification of Italy come to life before the disillusioned eyes of Prince Fabrizio di Salino. Luchino Visconti's masterpiece, based on the novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, Gepard offers a portrait of a world in which complete change becomes the inevitable way for everything to remain the same.
The film is presented in a restored digitized version in 4K resolution.
